COMMENTS
Number of partitions of 2n in two parts with identical prime signatures. Conjecture: (1) No term is zero for n > 3. (2) Every number k appears a finitely many times in the sequence. I.e., for every k there exists a number f(k) such that for all n > f(k), a(n) > k. Subsidiary sequence: the frequency of n.

EXAMPLE
a(12) = 4. The four values r can take are 1,2,5 and 7, giving the four pairs of numbers with identical prime signatures; (11,13),(10,14),(7,17) and (5,19).
